Hi, I'm a little confused as to how Debian deals with texinfo files. The R docs are a good example of my problems, so maybe you folks can explain how this works.
What I've noticed is that the texinfo files for R get appended/indexed in /usr/share/info/dir as well as /usr/local/info. This results in duplicated entries when I browse the info tree from Emacs. The only solutions I can come up with involve personally editing the various dir files on my system. This is not a good solution, as it requires additional attention whenever I update the docs from the repositories. Is there a better way to either set up things at my end, or to deal with the way the docs are packaged? The fact that I'm running Emacs 22.1.1 installed from sources provided upstream may be part of this problem. (I got tired of trying to chase down what parts of Emacs were Debian-approved, and which were "non-free" or just plain missing). Thanks for your continuing efforts!
